Because he was lying when he said he was being sarcastic (which I'm sure you already know). It was just an obvious excuse offered after he said some stupid and careless things. We've been here before, but those with TDS (Trump Deification Syndrome) will never admit it.
I didn't understand why he used the word "sarcasm." Who or what was he being "sarcastic" about? Had the news media proposed outlandish cures so Trump was mocking them?

The entertainment comes in watching them scramble around apologizing for him, even as he keeps pulling the rug out from under them. :)
They may get tired of it eventually. I didn't see the need for anyone trying to apologize or defend him. He makes silly remarks frequently enough that we should be used to it by now. Why try to defend every little thing he says? Why get partisan and bitter? He is what he is. Get used to it.

Huh. Don't see where they said Trump told people to inject Lysol.

The parent company of Lysol and another disinfectant warned Friday that its products should not be used as an internal treatment for the coronavirus after President Donald Trump wondered about the prospect during a White House briefing.​

Isn't that what the Trump supporters here were saying Friday (that Trump was just wondering about the prospect)?

Trump noted Thursday that researchers were looking at the effects of disinfectants on the virus and wondered aloud if they could be injected into people, saying the virus “does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that.”​

Sounds again like the apologetics Trump supporters here have been promoting.

It's an excuse/lie he's used before. His supporters bought it, so why not use it again? He doesn't care if everyone else sees right through it, as long as his base laps it up he's satisfied.

IMO they'll never get tired of it for two reasons....he's giving them what they want politically and their realization of what the alternative is if he loses.

"Don't inject disinfectants, Lysol warns as Trump raises idea"
The title of the article infers that Trump made the accusation. This implies what is not true. It is intentional, not just bad journalism!

Did Trump raise the idea to inject disinfectants in a way that suggested doing so, specifically Lysol, without a doctors care or advise?

This time, read the title of the article with your eyes open.

Such a diversion does not support the claim that Fake News didn't skew his initial remarks and lie, does it!

Accusation? Huh? The title says Trump raised the idea. Are you now disputing that he even mentioned the idea of internal use of disinfectants?

So far it looks more like an indictment of your reading comprehension.

I read the whole thing. It never said anything about Trump telling people to inject Lysol. In fact, they quote him verbatim.

Same question....where specifically did they say Trump told people to inject Lysol? Are you ever going to actually quote any of these articles, or are you just deflecting because you can't back up your claim (but can't admit it either)?

"The frantic reaction was prompted by President Trump’s suggestion on Thursday at a White House briefing that an “injection inside” the human body with a disinfectant like bleach or isopropyl alcohol could help combat the virus."

Claim backed... again.

If you are not going to read the articles and look for the bias and false inferences, implications and claims that Trump said to take disinfectants internally, why should I post them?

You must be making a fortune on selling all that toilet paper on eBay! :)

Hey "C",

Actually, -- speaking of toilet paper --, I have some 1,000 rolls of the premium Charmin Ultra Strong 4x in the cabin "pantry" (probably closer to 1,300). -- Did you need some? ;)

I also have some "Augason Farms" food buckets, and some "Keystone" canned beef. But just as important, I have SPAM for the "needy". And where we saw "shortages" over this Wuhan Virus, this is just a fore-runner. So I'd advise everyone to fill their "pantry" now, because in a year to a year and a half from now we'll need it.

Your denial and obstinance is not an argument. I will stop wasting everybody's time with further responses. The proof is posted, it is irrefutable.

Good for you! A Toilet Paper Millionaire! You are a wise person that could see bad days coming and are responsible enough to care for yourself and your family. Sadly, some people will be angry that you made an effort to prepare when they didn't.

Please don't torture people with SPAM! No one is THAT "needy"! :)

I believe that your advice is sound!

That's not "telling people to inject Lysol". Here is what he said...

"And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that, so that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me."​

Are you actually disputing that that constitutes a suggestion that injecting disinfectants could help with the virus? Yes or no.

If you are not going to read the articles and look for the bias and false inferences, implications and claims that Trump said to take disinfectants internally, why should I post them?
So far, because it's kind of funny to see you trying to spin this.

LOL! Again, are you disputing that Trump suggested injecting disinfectants could help with the virus? Or are you going to keep dodging that question?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/outl...eing-sarcastic-its-just-part-his-gaslighting/

Trump’s “sarcasm” ploy is part of a larger rhetorical strategy of outrage, distrust and polarization that he has used successfully since 2015 to attract and keep the nation’s attention and convince his supporters that they’re either with Trump or against him, and that they should believe no one but him.

Trump has used the “sarcasm” excuse before. Most notably, “sarcasm” was his defense against the uproar that occurred after Trump’s July 27, 2016, news conference in which he asked, “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing.”

Like other demagogues, Trump relies on deceptive rhetoric to prevent us from holding him accountable for his words and actions. Calling something “sarcasm” when it clearly wasn’t is a way of invoking plausible deniability — it gives Trump and his supporters the wiggle room to believe whatever they want. This time, the line from the White House and Trump-friendly conservative media was that mainstream reporters irresponsibly took him out of context to generate negative headlines. Back in 2016, Trump used the “sarcasm” excuse to explain that he wasn’t really inviting Russia to hack Hillary Clinton’s emails but was only joking.

Claiming he was being sarcastic after the fact also allows him to turn the question back on his critics — “What, can’t you take a joke?” Trump did the same thing in August 2019 when he claimed that he was just being sarcastic when he called himself “the chosen one.” He was “kidding, being sarcastic, and just having fun,” Trump tweeted: “no more trust!”​

After you try the "Keystone" 28oz canned beef (available at W/M, -- but don't use their search, use GOOGLE to access directly) you'll ALSO be giving the SPAM away.

They say "food fatigue" leads to starvation, when you can't look at another serving of beans and rice. So store the GOOD STUFF, because there will be plenty of other challenges you'll need to deal with! :)

And we got a year to a year and a half,

Josho, don't stick your foot in your mouth. Before you get too deep in this foolishness, go back and look at what Trump was talking about. He was asking if there was any way to introduce LIGHT into the infected people, since the virus seems to die when exposed to the disinfecting qualities of LIGHT.

You have been duped by a "trigger word" the media chose to dangle in front of us.
Amen! People need to hear the background of what Trump had been talking about with the doctors, prior to his briefing with the fake news media. Its all about missed word placement and/or wrong word selection.
